People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier has doubled down after attempting to discredit an internationally recognized teenage climate change activist by calling her “mentally unstable.”

After facing scorn on Twitter for his remarks on Greta Thunberg on Sunday, Bernier did not back down in an eight-part tweetstorm the following day.

He called Thunberg “the international mascot for climate alarmism” and claimed she is being used as “a convenient shield” by the left.

“Greta Thunberg is clearly mentally unstable,” he tweeted. “Not only autistic, but obsessive-compulsive, eating disorder, depression and lethargy, and she lives in a constant state of fear.”

“My concern is not for Greta Thunberg’s feelings, but for the millions of Canadians and people in other countries who will be poorer, will suffer and have their lives upended if we let her and the movement she represents impose their radical ideas,” he later added.

The People’s Party refuses to accept the scientific consensus that global warming caused by human activity has put the future of the planet in serious jeopardy.

Greta Thunberg is open about having Asperger’s syndrome and recently said on Twitter, “When haters go after your looks and differences, it means they have nowhere left to go. And then you know you’re winning!
